What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
21 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for families Spanaki II is an excellent choice if you're bringing a group or multi-generational crew, four cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own sleeping space without feeling cramped. The 2005 Sun Odyssey 45 is a proven, solid cruiser that's easy to handle.
Well-equipped boat You've got the essentials covered: autopilot and chart plotter for navigation, solar panels to keep batteries topped up, and a swimming platform with bimini for those Mediterranean afternoons. The outboard engine and dinghy make exploring anchorages straightforward, and the inverter means you can run modest 220V devices if needed.
Strong value proposition MG Yachts has a perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just two reviews), and the €3,000 deposit is reasonable. For a 4-cabin boat in what appears to be a Mediterranean base, this represents sensible money, you're paying for a comfortable, practical cruiser rather than a luxury yacht.
One honest note At nearly 20 years old, Spanaki II is no spring chicken, so condition matters more than usual. Ask MG Yachts explicitly about recent engine servicing, through-hull fittings, and when the standing rigging was last checked, these details will tell you whether she's been well-loved or just getting by.
